While there are hundreds of excellent babywearing options available commercially, there are many reasons to Do It Yourself. Whether it’s from a budget standpoint, designing the “perfect” carrier, or simply a love of sewing, DIY is a great option!

Safety Reminder:While we have done our best to compile the clearest, most thorough database of DIY Babywearing safety information, you are liable for whatever you create. We endeavor to give the clearest instructions and always err far on the side of caution, but it is up to you to make and use your carrier safely. Be sure to inspect your DIY carriers thoroughly before every use, and do not use a carrier you do not feel confident in. It is always a good idea to learn to use your carrier with the help of an official BWI Group. Search their website to find a local group. If there are no groups local to you, you can also join a group on Facebook, whether it is a nearby BWI Group or a global group like Everyday Babywearing, and post a picture for a “fit check.” Be sure to always follow the TICKS rules for safe babywearing.
